Answer:

The electrical signal will not be converted into chemical signal.

Explanation:

The synaptic knob is the bulbous enlargement also called synaptic terminal preset at the end of the axon.

The synaptic knob is a living cell and thus contains all the living features but they also contain the vesicles which store the neurotransmitters, therefore, synaptic knob acts as a site which converts the electrical signal into a chemical signal. The released neurotransmitter from the synaptic knob interacts with the post neuron or recipient neuron.

If the mutation develops in the neurons which result in the formation of neurons without synaptic knob therefore the electrical signal will not be converted into a chemical signal and thus signal will stop.

Fruit flies have a diploid number of 8, and honeybees have a diploid number of 32. In which case will crossing over have greater
Yanka [14]

Answer:

            The correct option is A.

Explanation:

              As we know that genetic variation that result from crossing over depend on the number of genes and their alleles. When there are more genes in genome the chances of polymorphic loci will increase, which will result into more genetic variation during crossing over.

Forexample:

                    Drosophila melanogaster is a common fruit fly having diploid number of 8 chromosome composed of 122,653,977 base pairs, and about ~17,000 genes.  Honey bees have diploid number of 32 chromosomes composed of approximately 2360000 base pairs, and 10,000 genes.    

Conclusion:

                      As fruit fly genome contain more genes and polymorphic loci, so genetic variation is more likely to be greater in fruit fly.

In the following image, what conclusion can you draw about the speed of the planet at location A compared to location B? (2 poin
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

The answer is; When the planet is at A it is moving faster than at B.

This is because when the planet is closer to the sun at point A, it is experiencing a stronger gravitation, by the sun, pull than at point B. Therefore, its acceleration due to gravity at point A is higher than at point B.
